Item type:Publication, God's existence, an obvious fact in Latin America?(Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, 2020-01-01)L’auteure interroge dans cet article le lien entre croyance en Dieu et enchantement en contexte latino-américain et principalement liménien. Les concepts élaborés dans des régions sécularisées par Congar, Kasper, Taylor, Vattimo, Casanova, Berger, entre autres, doivent être repensés pour analyser cette zone qui s’ouvre depuis peu et simultanément à la modernité et postmodernité. L’auteure analyse la situation à partir de données proportionnées par des enquêtes et à partir d’une étude récente qualitative sur la religion vécue (2015-2017). Elle conclut: L’existence de Dieu est une “croyance forte” pour les Liméniens mais le contenu de la croyance en Dieu est “faible”, variable selon les circonstances. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Les oxymores religieux latino-américains. Étude sur l’enchantement et les processus de sécularisation au Pérou(SAGE Publishing, 2020-09-01)Le champ religieux péruvien (catholique et évangélique) se caractérise par la ferveur, la créativité et le dynamisme. Les spécialistes le considèrent comme spécifique d’une cosmovision enchantée. Cependant, certains d’entre eux, en particulier Casanova et aussi la hiérarchie catholique, notent des signes d’essoufflement et de transformation qu’ils considèrent comme un processus de sécularisation. Cet article se propose d’interpréter ces signes en contexte et de montrer comment ils révèlent un changement dans la relation fidèles-institutions religieuses. Celles-ci gardent leur présence et leur prestige et jouissent d’un pouvoir redéfini dans un environnement social et politique fragilisé, en mutation, mais elles ne structurent plus les rythmes vitaux individuels et les normes communautaires. Entre ferveur très souvent hors institution et brouillage de sphères, un processus de sécularisation est donc peu adéquat pour rendre compte des transformations religieuses en cours. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Lived religion and religious market theory: A promising dialogue. A study of two Peruvian Pentecostal churches: Movimiento Misionero Mundial (MMM) and Monte de Oración (MO)(Universidad de los Andes, Bogota Colombia, 2022-01-01)Abstract: To counteract the absence of paradigms that explain Latin American religious transformations from their own models, this article proposes an exploratory dialogue between two interpretative frameworks assumed to be antagonistic: the religious market theory developed in the capitalist system and the lived religion approach. The reflections are illustrated in two different cases from the broad Peruvian Pentecostal spectrum: Monte de Oración, an independent church, a family business located in a Lima slum, and the World Missionary Movement, a transnational megachurch of Puerto Rican origin with pan-Peruvian aspirations. The lived religion approach leads to an enchanted worldview outside the logic of separation into spheres. It therefore allows the theory of the religious market to be adapted to an environment that continues to function traditionally as a family business or farm, despite having some of the characteristics of a globalized market. This approach also reveals that attachment to certain traditions and the existential quest in changing contexts -elements apparently alien to commercial logic- end up shaping a dynamic market. These theories lead us towards the little studied and debated popular Pentecostalism, which destroys certain customs, reinterprets others, and creates new formulas. This religious movement manages to combine an attractive local rootedness for its potential members with international connections that legitimize it in a society in transition. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Pragmatic and strategic religious alliances in times of pluralization, the case of Peru(Universidad Nacional de Colombia::will be referenced::ROR-ID, 2022-01-01)Según Peter Berger, la pluralización debe ser considerada el nuevo paradigma para abordar los estudios religiosos en el mundo. A pesar del consenso que existe entre especialistas con respecto a la noción de pluralización, queda por entender su significado en clave latinoamericana. Nuestro artículo se enfoca en el campo religioso peruano. Recientemente, las ofertas religiosas se han multiplicado. Hoy, el campo religioso peruano mayoritariamente cristiano, se caracteriza por la todavía preeminencia del catolicismo, la creciente influencia de los evangélicos y el aumento de desafiliados entre los cuales muchos siguen vinculados a la nebulosa evangélica. Sin embargo, la pluralización no se limita a una variedad de propuestas religiosas al alcance de todos, lo cual sería una mera pluralidad, sino que también implica un entreteje de relaciones y alianzas dinámicas interinstitucionales y extra-institucionales. La rapidez de la recomposición creativa caracteriza la evolución actual; sin embargo, la lógica del cambio religioso no es homogénea. Se trata de una pluralización de la pluralización. En el caso del catolicismo popular, la configuración inicial juega un papel determinante; las devociones, de fragmentadas se han vuelto más estructuradas a partir de una recomposición a nivel nacional. En la institución católica se repercuten las disensiones mundiales, entre las corrientes conservadoras y liberales que corresponden principalmente a diferencias de prioridades. Las iglesias evangélicas cuya diversidad esconde una relativa uniformidad siguen muy influenciadas por las corrientes internacionales, en su búsqueda de crecimiento y actualmente de influencia política. Entre las entidades católicas y evangélicas se tejen compromisos y alianzas. Las actividades oficiales corresponden a los acuerdos internacionales ecuménicos e involucran principalmente al ala liberal católico y a las iglesias evangélicas más cercanas al protestantismo tradicional. Por otro lado, se forman plataformas coyunturales comunes marcadas por la agenda familiar y moral que se plasman en marchas multitudinarias articuladas a proyectos políticos neoliberales. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Bible, environment and Christian churches: A reflection from Peru(Faculdade Jesuita de Filosofia e Teologia, 2022-01-01)Este artículo se propone analizar la forma en la cual las iglesias cristianas, en particular, en el Perú, a partir de sus interpretaciones de la Biblia abordan la emergencia medioambiental. El cristianismo que hemos heredado, forjado por pueblos que vivían bajo el temor de una naturaleza amenazante, adorando a un Dios todopoderoso, esperanza de salvación, mantiene en su doctrina elementos que, interpretados de manera literal, llevan a justificar la explotación sin-medida de la creación y/o la indolencia frente a la destrucción del medioambiente. A estas limitaciones, se añade el peso de factores contingentes vinculados a la precariedad que impera en la región. Sin embargo, los miembros de las comunidades religiosas, hoy, desde otra perspectiva, están jugando un rol profético de liderazgo, acompañando el impulso del Papa Francisco. A partir de este análisis, delineamos espacios teológicos y pastorales que deben desarrollarse para forjar una mayor agencia de la población en favor del medioambiente, en particular desde el buen uso de las ciencias. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Catholic Church in fragile democracies: An influencer, a moral guide, or a judge? A case study from the Peruvian Catholic Church(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-03-01)This paper navigates the complex roles that the Catholic Church assumes in fragile democracies, exploring whether it functions as an influencer, a moral guide, or a judge in shaping public policies and societal values using the Peruvian context as a focal reference. The authors begin by providing an overview of the global religious landscape, highlighting the diverse and polarized trends within the ecclesial institution. In the second part of this paper, this study delves into the homilies of two influential Peruvian prelates, Mgr. Cipriani and Mgr. Castillo, representing opposing theological currents within the Catholic Church, offering a pertinent exploration of how religious institutions engage with evolving international and local trends in the context of democracy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Masculinity Challenged?(Utrecht University Library Open Access Journals (Publishing Services), 2023-09-05)This article aims to present some of the results of our investigation on prisoners’ conversion into Evangelical churches, amongst (ex)convicts in Piura, a Peruvian Northern city and in Lima. Our objective is to research highly debated and understudied topics about this type of process of conversion: whether it is an individual process or a strategy to gain protection from the church in a dangerous surrounding (Algranti)? Which changes do (ex)convicts undergo through conversion, especially in ways of enacting virile masculinity, a very important feature of gang members and of Evangelical churches? Many (ex)convicts’ religious careers oscillate between extremes, from delinquency to strict church discipline, until some of them may stabilize. We argue that in spite of conversion and apparent changes in behaviors, the social religious imaginary (Morello), especially in terms of ideals of masculinity, remains almost unchanged, based on relations of power, fights and domination. (Ex)convicts pass from a “perverse” version of masculinity to a “virtuous” one (Fuller). For them, the ideal of femininity remains rooted in submissive women. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, In the Same Spirit. Looking for Political Legitimacy: Conservative Christian Alliances in Contemporary Peru(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025-01-01)The relationship between religion and politics in recent decades has seen new actors, new strategies, and new objectives. In a global scenario marked by the empowerment of the political far right and the decline of democracy, the emergence of authoritarian religious leaders in politics stands out. In the last decade, this phenomenon has been evident in several Latin American countries, including Peru. This study analyzes the relationship between the political and religious fields, emphasizing the convergence of Catholic and Evangelical actors whose practices and discourses seem to be driven by the same "spirit." Although the roots of such relationships lie in the 1990s, this study focuses on the last decade. Faced with a severe political crisis and deep distrust of social institutions, far-right political leaders seek to regain legitimacy in the religious sphere, whose institutions are the only ones that still have significant credibility. Conservative religious authoritarianism in Peruvian politics has a serious impact on the weakening of democracy. This article examines this phenomenon of de-democratization linked to the erosion of fundamental elements of classical democracy. Theological resources and technical effects of new media are reviewed to understand their effect on transforming political adversaries into illegitimate "enemies." The study considers the importance of religion for the majority of the population, the specific weight of Catholics and Evangelicals, and the effect of the recent election of Pope Leo XIV on the balance of power—progressives versus conservatives—in Catholic leadership.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Discours des religieux sur la pandémie au Pérou (2020–2021) : se conformer aux directives de l'État ou les rejeter ? Faire confiance à Dieu et/ou à la science ?(SAGE Publishing, 2025-06-01)This article analyzes the official position of Peruvian religious institutions, particularly Pentecostal ones, in response to the health emergency of COVID-19 (2020–2021), in the context characterized by precarity and multiple deficiencies. Using netnography and an ethnographic case study method, we examine the reactions of various churches. While a significant sector of the religious field, generally the most institutionalized, remained officially confident in the scientific approach assumed by the government to confront the pandemic, others, inspired by transnational connections related to North American conservative currents and promoting conspiracy theories and eschatological views, have introduced more ambiguous, even dissenting, discourses. Our analysis shows that diversity exists in the most structured institutions such as the Catholic Church and some dogmatic independent churches. Many members maintain their independence and do not follow the leaders' instructions.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Católicos y evangélicos en el espacio público peruano(2025-03-15)Desde la última década del siglo pasado la incursión de actores religiosos en la política electoral y el espacio público es una constante. Los estudios sobre América Latina han privilegiado la práctica política electoral más que su accionar en el espacio público. Este artículo estudia un conjunto de prácticas y discursos de actores del campo católico y evangélico peruano, forjados en una coyuntura política crítica (diciembre 2022 a julio de 2023) de repentina sustitución presidencial. El contexto de nuestro análisis tiene las siguientes características: condiciones precarias de la democracia en las últimas décadas, el impacto de la protesta popular identificada con el presidente destituido y la gravedad de la violencia del gobierno de Dina Boluarte contra los manifestantes del sur andino. En el análisis de las posiciones religiosas opuestas, expresadas en acciones y discursos que ocuparon el espacio público, llevamos en consideración las categorías de progresismo, neoconservadurismo y la visión teocrática de la política.1
